Apparently if you contact somebody about Mr X, say, then you can link trees through him. It comes up with the option even if you don't have him in your tree! I personally think this is a bit silly but who am I to comment... I was confused because some of my contacts had this as an option and some didn't. I think the ones that it didn't give me a chance to link, was because they had contacted me and so they had the option to link in their contacts bit. (If that makes sense!) Rachel
